Lesson Plan

Self-Control Superstars Lesson Plan

Students will define self-control, understand its benefits, and practice two calming strategies (deep breathing and stop-and-think) to manage impulses and make thoughtful choices.

Building self-control boosts academic focus, improves peer relationships, and supports emotional well-being. Equipping 3rd graders with simple, practical tools helps them succeed in and out of the classroom.
